Firefox

I opened firefox today to notice that it deleted all my favorites except one folder. Do any of you why it did this?

happened to me too once. couldn't figure it out. (sorry, this is not really helping you).
my only suggestion is to try a system restore, if you a have a point to restore to.
what i've been doing is backing up my favorites.

bookmarks->manage bookmarks->file->export

then if it happens again you can just import them back.

Happened to me too, a few times. Firefox has a few too many unexplained problems for me, I just went back to IE.

Those problems may or may not be related to the bugs in the first Firefox version that was released (which is what I'm running). No problems as such for me yet, but see if the newer version helps.
